The National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) has launched a new Training Day, reinforcing its commitment to professional development, industry betterment and the continued growth of skills across the outdoor events sector.
Taking place in spring 2027, the NOEA Training Day will bring together experienced practitioners from across the industry to deliver practical learning in areas including safety, resilience, event operations, Protect Duty, medical planning and commercial management.
The initiative builds on NOEA’s long-standing commitment to education and knowledge sharing. From supporting event professionals through the challenges of the pandemic to providing guidance, research, industry insight and conference content, professional development has remained a core part of the association’s work. The Training Day represents the next evolution of that commitment, creating a dedicated learning environment focused on practical skills and real-world application.
Susan Tanner, Chief Executive of NOEA, commented, “Professional development has always been central to what NOEA does. As the challenges facing organisers continue to evolve, so too must the opportunities available to learn, develop and share knowledge.”
The Training Day also supports the association’s wider vision of NOEA for All, creating new opportunities for engagement across the regions and ensuring that high-quality professional development remains accessible to organisations and individuals at every stage of their journey.
NOEA President Bev Osborne added, “One of the most important things we can do as an industry is invest in our people. Better-trained professionals create better, safer and more resilient events. The Training Day will bring together some of the sector’s leading practitioners to share practical knowledge and resources that organisers can take back to their organisations and apply immediately. Ultimately, this is about helping the industry continue to raise standards and thrive.”
Further details, including trainers, venue, sponsors and programme content, will be announced in the coming months.
